[TheIceMan 596]

What does it mean "Not suited for Chelsea", which Chelsea are we talking about?

He never changed completely his set up, but players like Kenedy, Loftus-Cheek, Baba, Zouma got chances.

The temporary removal of John Terry is a huge step, for me he he is thinking about improving the team all the time.

A lof of guys wished seeing more of Remy, now they saw him, i am not happy with his performance!

Some time ago Oscar was the saviour, today he was playing very bad!

Afterwards it's easy to judge and everyone know better, yes, Loftus-Cheek should have been a starter, but afterwards is afterwards!

Maybe Mourinho should have axed Fabregas and Ivanovic some time ago, but it itsn't their fault, that Pedro could't finish his chance...

Something is very wrong and i don't think that changing some names would lead to glory.

At the beginning a new manager would grind out some good results but in the long run, i am not so sure.

I can only speak for myself, but i would give Mourinho at least another complete season.

In football there are bad spells and for me it's important how you look during the bad times, not the good times because then it's easy.

Actually,changing some names would change a lot.Let me tell you why.If you look at our starting eleven,you clearly see that we have one right back playing on the left side and a centre back playing as a right back.

Azpilicueta is still our best defender.He knows how to defend fast players and he shows week and week out that he defends attackers from crossing the ball to the penalty box.

Iva can´t defend that.I know you rate him highly,but let´s be honest,every player that comes from the left side,will cross into the box because Iva can´t defend that.

That´s why it is so important to have some modern fullbacks.

Just bench Iva and if Mou loves Iva so much,play him as a CB.Maybe he plays better there.I highly doubt that,but maybe he really does.

If that somehow happens,we will have two modern fullbacks playing on our side.

Azpi switches to his natural side and Baba comes in,who is just brilliant when going forward because he actually can cross the ball into the box.

Moreover,this means that players like Hazard and Pedro will have much more freedom to create something and our play would benefit from is so much.

Today,I watched Barcelona playing an average team.I saw that Jordi Alba,who is the best or second best LB at going forward(mayba Alaba is better),was injured and Adriano replaced him.Adriano was very poor at going forward and Neymar played horrible because he had to face always three players.Not an easy job,if you ask me.Hazard has the same problem with Azpi.The only difference is that Hazard always has this problem,while Neymar only had it today.

The funny thing though was that Barca playerd very good from the right side.Why was that?Sergi Roberto played brilliant football as a right back and Munir and him played very well together,which created a lot of space and as a result of that,many chances.

On the left side,there was no sign of modern football,but on the right side,we saw some quality football,which shows the importance of actually having some modern fullbacks.

Chelsea is the only club I know that does not have modern fullbacks.

Changing one player would immediately improve our game.Just one.

Me personally,I would also bench Oscar and replace him with RLC,who always has his good games and if Mou refuses to give him his chance,just play Rami,because he at least gives always his best.

Cheers mate

We should sack the whole team tbh if we go down the sacking route. Whole team lacks balls, gutless bunch of overpaid wankers.

[Muzchap 8,966]

If Wenger resigns they would seriously consider him!

On Arsenal-Mania they are already discussing it, as well as in other communities...

Mourinho already said, that he would like to stay in London, so you can figure out, what would happen, if Roman is stupid enough and kicks him out.

He is a winner and the acting Champion of England, let that sink in!

Good fucking luck to them is all I say...

Our team is absolute dogshit at the moment - I now expect us to lose most games

Fucking play the team with form! Is that too much to fucking ask - you moronic, biggoted, self important c##t!!!

Change 6 players - please you fucking bellend, you selected them!!!

Needs to own up to his shit - or he's gone in 3 weeks - mark my words...

[didierforever 7,349]

Never mind winning the title, even trying to finish in the top 4 might be a difficult task now. If we still continue to perform poorly, get bad results say by this time next month or in November, then I think Roman might start to get a itchy and tempted to pull the trigger.

why now?

this should have been the concern at WBA when iva and cesc were not dropped. the writing was on the wall. people just refused to read it.

[lionsden 4,689]

got any potential names?

Emery, Klopp, Rudi Garcia, Ancelotti do fit some, if not all of these criteria and are either available or realistic targets. The obvious names like Simeone and Pep are not so realistic (atleast for now)

I don't mind a 'Caretaker' manager until the end of the season - like we did with Rafa. Worked then - could work now.

Garcia could be good

[Essien19 1,415]

Champion of England who can't even win against Newcastle which is one of few worst trams in the league right know.

They lost some games and played poor football, but does that mean, they will continue to do so till the very end?

I don't think so, today they played well, fought back and scored good goals! Fairplay to them!

In the past some managers had piss poor starts, but they could redeem themselves and in the end, their position wasn't that poor.

The league is competitive and after the glorious crowning some guys decreased rapidly, but they can fuck back!

Football is a special business, a few months ago we won the league, now some fans are so nervous, they would like to pull the plug after ~2 months,

that really amazes me, but i have to live with that, for me that's short term and limited vision, but who am i to make such claims...

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I mean.. It was his subs that saved this game

The problem is not tht we don't get result, but theres alot more, i wrote few pints go back in few pages and you will see it.

[Clockwork 1,794]

Those wanting Klopp in, are being very contradictory here. We are wanting the best manager in the world out because of inconsistency but we are wanting another inconsistent manager to take over? Shit makes no sense.

I personally will never succumb to this best manager argument, even if Mou is the best manager it doesn't mean he is the best manager for Chelsea. The correct thinking is what manager is best fit for Chelsea, not which manager accomplished the most.

Barca won a treble with Luis Enrique, not a good manager for Roma. But great manager for Barca because of his personality and understanding of Barcelona.

No question it is a better approach, a Ferrari is an amazing car. But it doesn't mean it is the best car if you need it for a long commute to work

This club needs a progressive manager. one that takes pride in the presentation and performance of his team aswell as result, One that is proactive i.e identifies tactical and technical issues and nips them in the bud, One that reacts and responds well tactically during the game, one that isn't afraid to play youngsters and reward good performances accordingly, one that shows no favoritism and is only worried about the overall progression of the team. A good personality that will help put a the negative image associated with the club is a bonus .

Any manager that fits some or all of these criteria is most welcome. personally i'm done with Mourinho. He's taken us as far as he can.

I used to believe this is most people wanted for the club.

But the cult of Mourinho is too strong. Look at the Eva thread. You have people in there insulting her for doing her job and thanking people on social media, calling her 'just a doctor' etc trying to justify Mourinho's behaviour and why we shouldn't care.

Honestly, I'm just sick and tired of the football. I HATE the way we play. It is genuinely shit.

[Blue Armour 4,323]

Those expecting that sacking the manager will bring about a revival in our fortunes just like seasons past, better think twice.

There is a serious lack of leadership on the pitch at this point, and is one of the main reasons why our team performed in a differently in the two halves of today's game.

Lampard, Cole, left,followed by Drogba, Cech, and the only other leader remaining in the squad doesn't have a secure spot in the starting 11.

Its not like 2012, when the squad could pretty much take care of itself regardless of who was managing it.

[didierforever 7,349]

atleast people can change their chanting from "boring boring chelsea" to "shitty shitty chelsea".

totally agree!

Nahh. PSG, Juve, Inter.

Let's say Mourinho gets the sack. City would go for him in the summer, I'm sure. Pellegrini isn't staying there for 10 years.

Utd would go for him if he's available after Van Gaal retires or if he gets sacked.

Perez still loves him although I don't think Real and Mourinho is a good fit. But they've ran out of manager options. Benitez had a decent spell at Napoli that ended very poorly and he still got the job.

Mourinho has excellent timing. He usually steps in at the right time, with actual possiblities of winning.

He won't go back to Italy. I remember he said he hated his time there; he loved Inter but hated the culture of football.

What really does baffle me the most is the lack of change in every aspect. It's like Mourinho and his staffs just spend hours analyzing our matches and at the end they all reach the same conclusion "Everything looks fine, no need to change anything. If it ain't broke, don't fix it" "Ivanovic, fabregas it is" "The same unimaginative football it is"

Some weeks I'm convinced they (jose and his staffs) just sit on their asses doing nothing and other weeks I'm inclined to believe they genuinely have no clue on how to stop the bad performances and get us playing decent football.
